♡Calorie & Sat/Fat ALERT... ,-)

(Store front on Broadway)

We were down-town, mid day.  Must get down-town to take pictures, later in the day.  When it's getting darker and the lights are turned on, and really show up.  "Geewilikers" is the name of this children toys store, and their display windows always make anyone what to say; ""Geewilikers"!  :-)

*-:~*-:~*-:~*

(I put my too-bright Faerie Lights, around the doorway from Den to Front Room...  Along with the old Red Bells.  We don't even remember HOW old those bells are!!!  :-)

.

Oh my!  Did you see Vee's comment yesterday?  Saying that we had three weeks and a day until it's illegal to sell a regular light bulb.  Thank you for keeping us updated, because I didn't know the cut-off date.  *-:~*-:~*  Will I get *drummed out* of Pretty Blog Land, if I admit that we have been switching to the *dreaded* LED lights???  -looking *sheepish*-    They aren't all as *bad* as they were, at first.  But no, they still do not give ambiance-like-looking-light.  -pout-

.

I'm wondering about all our smaller ambiance lighting...   Like:  The little lamp I keep on my Kitchen Counter?  The little lamp on my mantle?  The little lamp on-the-wall in the Den?  THOSE are meant to be soft, soft, soft and not bright, bright, bright.  What about them?????????????

*-:~*-:~*-:~*

Yesterday (obviously) we went down-street.  We decided to not try-to-drive-at-night to the Rotary Christmas Cocktail Party, this year.  So we got some "bubbly," and individual "desserts," (mine a decadent Gluten/Free), and watched an old Christmas-time movie.  (Which I own)  It's a delightful, old-time gem, and it stars Monty Woolley, who lived/died in our city.  Along with Bette Davis, Billie Burke, Mary Wickes, Richard Travis, Ann Sheridan, Jimmy Durante, etc.

"The Man Who Came To Dinner"  1942 

It's very important to note the date of 1942, because a copy was made later.  We only watch the original.  :-)  If you don't already count this *old chestnut* among your favorite Holiday movies, please try to see it.  Betcha' you'll be won over.  :-)

And those who love "The Bishop's Wife,"  Monty Woolley played the old Professor, "Professor Wutheridge".   Remember?

*-:~*-:~*-:~*

Have to tease you, with more pics of the specialty shop, where we got out individual desserts.  :-)  :-)  :-)

"Uncle A." got one of those.  Individual Eggnog Cheesecake.

 I got one of these.  Individual Coconut Cream Pie.  Gluten Free.  The crust is made of coconut.  -sigh-  No, I have noooooooo idea of the Sat/Fat in that that!!!  :-)  The Coconut Macaroon next to it, is also G/F.  I have to keep OUT of that store!!!  ,-)

Enough??????????????  -grin-  What a place of temptation!!!  :-)

*-:~*-:~*-:~*

Oooops!!!  Almost forgot!!!  

Happy Full Moon Before Yule!

Or Full Cold Moon.

Or Full Long Night's Moon.

.

And it will be cold in "my neck of the woods".  Forecast High of 38 degrees Sat.
and Low of 18 degrees Sat. tonight.   :-)  The Full Moon seems to do that....
Clear out the atmosphere and allow earth's heat to rise away.
Guess "The Lady Moon" just likes to shine forth, in all her beauty, hu?  :-))))

"Heap the holly! / 

Wreath the pine. / 

Train the dainty Christmas vine---

Let the breadth of fir and bay / 

Mingle on the festal day."
